Default Armstrong reviews

I was prompted to do this by being contacted by someone about the Wikipedia
page on Armstrong Audio. This may be 'deleted' because of an absense of
'references'.



** The desired references are gonna be ones that serve as sources for information presented in the Wiki article.

Your past connection with Armstrong as a design engineer makes you a primary source - but only if your recollections and research have been published somewhere, preferably not by you.

Although Wiki's rules are made in the interests of objectivity, their unintended outcome typically excludes those with first hand or inside knowledge in preference to pseudo academic reviews of whatever is already in the public domain.

Must be the way professional Historians and Enyclopedia editors work - and you know what Henry Ford said about History ...

Nevertheless, published reviews of Armstrong products at least confirms their existence, plus you can omit ones that are highly erroneous.

IMO, a token Wiki page that points to your web site should be enough to satisfy most folk's curiosity.

BTW, the Wiki on Quad is rather sad.
